We took Madelin skiing a few times this winter. She did really well for a four year old. She was so cute in her ski gear with her tiny skiis. (Thanks for letting us borrow Watts fam!) She loooved having a day all to herself with mom and dad.

She insisted that I take a pic of her hugging this tree

Then she insisted that we take some funny face pics

SLEDDING

Owen has that face in every picture when he is cold

Brett is laughing because Owen is screaming, still stuck in the middle of the hill where he fell off while being pulled to the top.

CHRISTMAS MORNING

Me in all my Christmas morning glory. So purty.

Owen loved bring the presents to whoever they were for

Cheeseball

He appears to be strong but our kids weigh nearly nothing since they loath any sort of meal.

POLAR EXPRESS

Santa had a silver jingle bell for each child. They looooved it!

K...I know she looks special ed in this pic, but she was the funnest elf on the train and she picked Madelin up and danced with her. She was "commited" to her character.

This is the face we get from Brett when he tries to get the kids to say "cheese" in pictures. :D

Madelin has his big Proctor smile and I loooove it.

My cute friend Tara came last second and used our extra tickets. Her daughter Nya is one of the sweetest little girls I know. (like mother like daughter) Owen has sad face because he did not want to sit still on the train so my lap was not a fun place to be.

Me and my Owee by the train before departure.

MOLLY MCBUTTER

We got to babysit out cute little neice Molly while Jackie and Kyle went on a cruize with his fam. We split up the time with Grandma. We loved her at our house so much that we called and asked Grandma if we could keep her an extra night. Look at that belly hangin over the strap! Love

Madelin loved being her big cousin

VEGAS CHIRO CONVENTION

Every year Brett has to go to get a certain amount of credits in chiropractic continued education stuff. Lucky for me it was in Vegas and I have a friend who I adore that lives there. One of those friends you laugh with till ya pee. Love my Kara and her funny sisters too.

Her husbo is a fireman so we took the kids to the station. They loved it.

That could be bad.

Owen wanted to stay forever

We hit the local Wal-mart and this was their Santa with a carboard fold-out background. You can't tell very good in the pic, but his belly could not have been more square and pillowish. Awesome!

Instant BFF's Kara's little girl and Madelin

A VISIT FROM THE DAVIS FAM

our kiddos together

SNOW PLAY

20 minutes of bundling and preparation and 10 minutes of play before they want to come in and get warm

About Me

I'm a mama of two of the cutest kids on earth and that is who I spend all of my time and energy on. They make me laugh at least twice a day and yell only once. Ha! I love people and friendships that pick up right where they left off, even when you haven't talked forever. I have a husband that works harder than anyone I've ever known, and two French bull doggies that I love to pieces.
I love to be outside, and I love warm weather. I get very anxious while waiting for spring. I long for days that I don't have to bundle up my kids and they can be barefoot or even naked if they wanted.
I am one of the only people I know that has fabulous in-laws. Lived with 'em for a year and we're still good friends! I love to sing a good church song now and then (in front of people) mainly because I am not good at standing up there to say my testimony...so singing it is much easier for me. I am lucky...very lucky to have beautiful, genuine people that surround me... friends AND family both. xoxo to you.
